Inventioneering

November 26, 2025Ā  •  EPISODE 288

What does it really take to bring ideas to life? In this episode, Dr. Roger Billings takes us deeper into the world of inventioneering—the dynamic mix of creativity, engineering, and problem-solving that turns imagination into real-world inventions. He shows how inventioneering isn’t limited to tech or science—it can be applied to any creative or practical project. If you’ve ever had a spark of inspiration, this episode will help you learn how to shape it into something meaningful and impactful.

    I never thought too much about how batteries were made until now and I’m surprised to see that they started out as big before becoming small and I’m thankful to Acellus live to teaching me all these wonderful things.

    An airplane’s speed is dependent on air pressure, as air density changes with altitude and affects the force of lift an aircraft needs to fly.
